WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
1. Technical Personnel and Decision-Makers are encouraged to participate in this training.
2. DECISION MAKERS: Technical Directors, Managers, Purchasers.
3. TECHNICAL PERSONNEL: Lecturers, Technical Sales, Marketing, Failure Analysis, Research & Development, Quality Control and Assurance, Production Engineers or Technicians.
INTRODUCTION
The characteristic of surface and near-surface regions of materials can be characterised by various surface analysis techniques. Applications of many engineering materials are determined by the surface and near-surface structures. Therefore, well-being of this region is essential in order to obtain a pre-required condition for those materials to be applied for a specific application. Typically, failure of engineering products may be traced back to surface/near-surface contamination or surface reconstruction. In order to obtain more information related to the failure, in-sight of these regions need to be exposed. This course is outlined to introduce basic principles of surface science, which serve as an essential foundation to explain the operation concepts and applications of several important surface analysis techniques. Know-how of interpreting the analysis data is also explained in this “easy-to-follow” and “easy-to-understand” training course. With these and the support of brief but sufficient theories of fundamental, skill of selecting a relevant technique with respect to its practical engineering usage will be covered. Ultimate goal for this course is to increase level of knowledge in making a correct technical decision to solve surface related issues and transform knowledge into applications.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
i. List down common techniques used for surface analysis.
ii. Explain operation principles of those techniques.
iii. State advantages and limitations of a given technique.
iv. Systematically identify and justify useful analytical technique for problem solving.

Suitable for:
1. Technicians, engineers and researchers
2. Decision makers, policy makers, and managers
Engineering materials are the core of any engineering products. The performance of the products is determined by the behaviour and characteristics of the designed materials according to their required specifications. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand the characteristics of the materials. This can be done by performing an appropriate and reliable characterization or testing on the materials. By doing that, information that is of interest namely electrical, mechanical, thermal, optical, and chemical property can be acquired and subsequently correlate with the product performance. To acquire this information, knowledge of characterization tools, limitation of the tools, and application of the tools is essential. By having this knowledge, it may help engineers and researchers to select a suitable tool for a specific purpose. The characterization techniques being introduced are suitable for materials with dimensionality ranging from nanometer to macrometer scale (or nanostructures to bulk materials).
Engineering appliances and gadgets are dominating the life of human being. Therefore, it is a need to understand the characteristics of engineering materials being used to produce these products. The materials that are being selected must fulfil some of the basic requirements. To design, engineered, improve, and develop any of these products, it is essential to understand the properties of materials. In this “easy-to-follow” and “easy-to-understand” training course, engineering materials properties will be elaborate in detail.
Upon completion of this training course, participants should be able:
To explain concepts related to electrical, thermal, optical, magnetic, dielectric, superconductivity properties.
To correlate theory and principle of solid state materials with their engineering applications.
To suggest engineering materials for certain engineering applications
